Elevate your water garden to new heights with Rotala indica, the captivating Red Rotala! This aquatic gem is known for its lush, feathery foliage that can shift from green to stunning shades of red or pink, providing a dynamic color show. Growing to a height of 8-20 inches, it's ideal for the mid to background of your pond or aquarium, where it flourishes in high light and nutrient-rich conditions.
However, for those in USDA Hardiness Zone 6a, note that Rotala indica is not frost-hardy and will need to be treated as an annual or brought indoors during winter. Its bushy growth offers perfect hiding spots for fish, enhancing their habitat while its roots work wonders in water purification by absorbing excess nutrients. This plant's ability to adapt and change color adds both beauty and ecological benefits, making it an irresistible choice for any water gardening enthusiast looking to create a vibrant, thriving aquatic environment.
